Taylor Swift close to breaking Whitney Houston's AMA recordOct 8 (AZINS) Taylor Swift is three AMAs away from making history at the 2018 American Music Awards.

The 'Bad Blood' singer currently has 19 AMAs on her name, which are just three less than those won by Whitney Houston. The 'I Have Nothing' singer had bagged 21 trophies during her lifetime.

Swift has been nominated in four categories this year, namely, Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock Album for 'Reputation', and Tour of the Year for her 'Reputation Stadium Tour'.

However, Swift will still be a few wins away from the highest trophy count record, which is held by Michael Jackson for earning 24 AMAs.

The 'You Belong With Me' singer might end up breaking her own record in the Artist of the Year category if she takes home the 2018 trophy.
